Book Description
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be defined as self-configured and infrastructure-less wireless networks. WSNs monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants and cooperatively pass their data through the networks to the central location or sink where it can be observed and analysed. The characteristics of these devices and the operating principles, including those of MEMS (micro-electromechanics system), which are the current trends in sensor devices fabrication, have been discussed. This book is about sensors and their applications in various fields like automobiles, wireless sensor networks, humidity sensing devices, manufacturing and medical applications. Each chapter contains necessary schematic diagrams coupled with three categories of review questions. This book provides presentations of various types of sensors along with transducers that are used in today’s current industrial scenario. It also describes in detail the comprehensive state of present-day technologies. The students of engineering will find this volume highly useful for their course work along with guidance for final year projects and seminar work.

Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3319011987
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Electroacoustic transducers (EAT) are devices, which transform electric energy to energy of acoustic fluctuations. Principles of action, design of transducers for work in air and water as well as for non-destructive control are described in the book. New technologies of designing EAT, not only expanding designing possibilities, are described. They also allow to create transducers with improved characteristics. In particular, methods to increase target capacity (sound pressure), decrease working (resonant) frequency of transducers and expand frequencies of projectors and sound receivers are developed. Methods and control units of transducers in batch production of transducers are described, too.

Book Description
Exploiting new advanced structures and electromechanical systems, e. g. , adaptive structures, high-precision systems, micro electromechanical systems, distributed sensors/actuators, precision manipulation and controls, etc. , has been becoming one of the mainstream research and development activities (structure & motion) in recent years. These new systems and devices could bring a new technological revolution in modern industries and further, directly or indirectly, impact human life. In the search for and research in innovative technologies, it is proved that piezoelectric materials are very versatile in both sensor and actuator applications. Consequently, piezoelectric technology has been widely applied to a large number of industrial applications and devices, varying from thin-film micro sensors/actuators to large space structures in addition to those relatively conventional applications, e. g. , sensors, actuators, hydrophones, precision manipulators, mobile robots, micro motors, etc. There have been a few books on piezoelectricity published in the past; however, a unified presentation of piezoelectric shells and distributed senSing/control applications is still lacking. This book is intended to fill the gap and to pro~de practising engineers and researchers with an introduction to advanced piezoelectric shell theories and distributed sensor/actuator technologies in structural identification and control. This book represents a collection of the author's recent research and development on piezoelectric shells and related applications to distributed measurement and control of continuaj it reflects six best-paper awards, including [ xviii] • Contents. two ASME Best-Paper Awards in recent years.
